Let's get one thing straight, being single is not the worst thing in the world, but apparently, some of you can't be without a significant other. I'm here to tell you why it isn't bad to be single because, newsflash, you don't need a relationship to be happy.

1. You don't have to worry about making sure you reply to someone

Texting takes A LOT of time, and so do phone calls... No partner, no problem!!

2. You can basically do whatever you want

Giphy

I'm not saying go and sleep with the entire world, but you can talk and meet as many people as you want. You don't have to worry about hurting your S.O. by flirting or talking to anyone else.

3. You don't have to worry about anyone getting mad at you

Giphy

Fighting with anyone sucks, but fighting with your significant other is worse, especially if what the fight about is 'stupid' to the other person, they don't care.

4. You can work on yourself

Giphy

You can concentrate on improving yourself mentally and physically, both of these are important to maintain in your body. Compromise is important and all but you have the freedom to figure out what you really want for yourself and go out and live it.

5. You can sleep peacefully and quietly

Giphy

Don't like being kicked in the middle of the night or having no covers??? No worries, you're single!!!

6. You can stay in touch with friends

Giphy

These major life decisions require the sacrifice of free time and personal freedom. It's hard to find the time to do much when you have a partner to consider. If you aren't ready for such a commitment, then singlehood might be for you.

7. You can avoid settling for a bad match

Giphy

It's easy to settle for a bad match when you're feeling lonely, don't let the devil stray you away.

When I was learning how to talk, I was taught both Portuguese and English at the same time. In elementary school, I started taking mandatory Spanish classes, which I did well in because of my knowledge of Portuguese. Then in high school, on top of taking Spanish, I also started taking French. Now, in college, already fluent in English and Portuguese, I'm in the process of becoming fluent in Spanish, and I have a standard high school level understanding of French.
